[(Strategy) Sharing new gameplay in the Dark Land: Fishing the Universe]

Posted by: Throw a pole

Contents:

Before I start introducing the new gameplay, let me first explain my situation.

In real life, I am a veteran angler and I love to go out for a few casts on weekdays and holidays.

But I live in Yunwu City, which was once attacked by the mechanical army's mutant bombs, causing many aquatic fish to mutate. In recent years, these fish seem to have evolved intelligence and cannot be caught at all, and the fun of fishing has plummeted.

So I thought of satisfying my craving in virtual games.

I was lucky enough to grab the second round of purchasing qualifications issued by the Dark Land, and was able to enter the Monster World to experience the game.

But the first fishing attempts after entering the game were not smooth.

The first thing to be affected is the insufficient combat power level.

The weakest monster in the monster world is stronger than my main human form. Without a strong physique to support the strength of aquatic creatures, it is impossible to fish them ashore and they will only be dragged into the water.

To solve this problem, I chose to hunt and upgrade with my guild friends.

Until today, my gargoyle level reached 12, and I finally decided to start my fishing operation.

Now that the problem of insufficient strength has been solved, let’s get down to business and explain to you in detail how to fish in the game.

There are no fishing gear for sale in the game's built-in store, so if you want to go fishing, you have to make the fishing gear yourself.

After a week of research, I have created a set of simple fishing tools for your reference. If you have any better suggestions, please post them in the post and I will reply when I see them.

The following is my idea for creating version 1.0 of fishing tackle:

To make the fishing line, I chose the silk thread spit out by the ironworm, which is made by weaving and kneading. After practical testing, it has been found to be very strong.

The fishing rod I chose is made of bamboo from the bamboo forest on the edge of the Qiling Valley in the Dizhong Mountains. It is very tough and very suitable for novice fishing. In the future, I will consider switching to spiritual plant wood with better strength, but I have not found the right material at this stage (map coordinate location mark).

The fish hook was made by hammering out broken weapons picked up from the ancient battlefield area with an axe bit by bit (it exhausted me), and its strength reaches equipment quality level 3, which is good enough for fishing (at least it is good enough for the place where I fish, as the hunting level of aquatic life there is not high).

The fishing float I use is made of reeds that grow near Turtle Back Lake. The reeds here are light in texture and have a certain buoyancy, making them ideal materials for making fishing floats. Players who want to try can choose hollow reeds of moderate thickness and length as fishing floats, which are very easy to use.

The bait I chose is made by mixing canned grain purchased from the mall with water. I was considering using fish meat mixed with canned grain, but the cost is relatively high.

As for fishing locations, there are currently two clear spots for fishing, namely Fengbotan (attached: map coordinates) to the northwest of the ancient battlefield, and Guibei Lake (attached: coordinates) on the map. Both locations have aquatic creatures that can be fished. As for how many species of underwater creatures there are in these two waters, I will post a strategy post with detailed descriptions after I am familiar with them.

……

Having talked about the guide to making fishing gear, here is a video of my successful fishing and screenshots of my fishing results.

Finally, the fish meat is so delicious... I guarantee you will never forget it once you have tasted it. My mind is full of the taste of fish meat now. I will catch another one later and try what grilled fish tastes like (happy.jpg).

To sum up, fishing can not only gain sacrifice power, but also gain body-building experience. Killing the aquatic creatures caught by fishing can also gain evolution points to increase the monster level.

When I wrote this guide, I was already imagining fishing for giant fish of a hundred meters in length, or even stronger aquatic creatures.

I think the fishing gameplay is very interesting, and there is still room for expansion in the future.

The most important thing is that the aquatic creatures in the monster world are all kinds of strange and bizarre. In addition to fish life, there are also various underwater monsters. Every time I go fishing, I am full of anticipation. I have considered making an atlas of underwater creatures.

This is a game play that a fisherman discovered accidentally and shared with everyone.

……

The popularity of the strategy post published by Wu Quan on the forum increased at an alarming rate and was soon pinned to the top of the forum's 24-hour popularity list.

And this is exactly the result Wu Quan wants to see.

He posted the strategy post on the forum to attract more players to join the fishing game.

So when he wrote this guide post, he explained it in great detail, focusing on describing the benefits of fishing and the unimaginable taste experience of fish.

After the post was published on the forum, it attracted a large number of players to participate in the discussion.

Night is Coming: It is worthy of being a game world with super freedom. All kinds of gameplay can appear. The emergence of arms dealers is already outrageous in my opinion, and now there are professional fishermen. I dare not imagine what strange growth schools will appear in the future.

This beaver: Dude is awesome, I made a set of fishing equipment by hand, it’s a loss to sell it to you for 128888 in Dark Land, it’s a world with super high freedom, you really treat it as a free world... I really want to eat the taste of fish after seeing your description in the post, are you interested in selling me one? The canned food in the game is tasteless after eating too much, as a foodie I am really looking forward to the delicious food in the game, I’ve thought about getting some spiritual plants to try before, your description has given me new expectations, if you are interested, you can private message me, I can buy the fish with cash.

Small class - cute kid: Although I have no interest in fishing, I am sure that your strategy post will attract many players to join the fishing party. I even imagined a very magical scene in my mind: a super muscular man standing on the bottomless sea, fishing for a giant sea beast that is thousands of meters long, and then fighting passionately with it after pulling it up. In theory, if you want to fish for powerful aquatic creatures, you must have a more powerful strength as a basis, otherwise it is not certain who will fish for whom.

Game Bricklayer: Damn, you obviously don't realize the impact of your strategy post. You mentioned in the post that fishing line is made of the silk of iron shell insects. I had a lot of this stuff before, and I sacrificed them all to Emperor Omen. This kind of material will probably usher in a wave of price surges in the future. Hamster party players will be ecstatic, and I have suffered heavy losses (The God of Wealth Hongwen.jpg)

Power of Shield and Sword: Hahaha, thank you for the strategy post. Although I still prefer hunting monsters, I am also very interested in fishing. Like you, I am a fisherman in real life. I have saved your strategy post and will go fishing when I have time to relax. I look forward to the taste of the fish you described. Also, let me ask, what is your fishing method?
Cast a Rod (the original poster) replied to Power of Shield and Sword: Ordinary fishing rod, if you are interested, you can develop other fishing methods.

The power of the shield and sword is restored by a swing: Can I use a psychic bomb to blow up the fish? (sly smile).

Du Diao Wangu: Thank you for the strategy post, it is because of selfless players like you that we, a group of newbies, can learn and make progress. I decided to follow in your footsteps and become a fishing player. I will start making fishing equipment now. Let’s go!

Cat Looking for Food: This is why I like to visit forums, I can always find all kinds of new and interesting ways to play. I admire your imagination. Although we are both playing games, I play the normal mode and you play the innovative mode. I look forward to the growth and development of this genre. As a hamster party, I only love to collect all kinds of weird things. By the way, I have a lot of iron beetle silk stored in my space bag, and I have never been willing to sell them, hehe.

……

The popularity of the strategy post released by Wu Quan on the forum has continued to rise, attracting a large number of players who like fishing to participate in the discussion.

After learning that the monster world can also grow by fishing, they left messages in the post asking how to do it. In response, Wu Quan continued fishing and patiently replied to the post.

During this period, some players also expressed their opinions on the choice of fishing rod materials, saying that they had seen better plants that could be used as fishing rod materials when exploring the monster world.

The subsequent influence of the post was beyond Wu Quan’s imagination.

The first thing to be affected was the market price of "ironworm silk", which saw a rapid surge.

After reading the strategy post, many players made fishing gear according to the ideas provided by Wu Quan, and the production of fishing line required the use of silk spun by ironworms.

This was a low-level material that most players obtained in the early days and decisively sacrificed to Emperor Omen. However, its price skyrocketed due to the emergence of the fishing school.

And there are not many players who have inventory.

Now all the ironworms in the dark cave have been slaughtered, and there is no way to obtain them. Every time a piece of silk is consumed, there is one less piece.

Only a few "hamster party players" who love to stockpile goods have such resources.

This made the early players who sacrificed the iron beetle by spinning silk beat their chests and sigh why they chose to sacrifice it in the first place. If they had kept it until today, the income would have at least increased tenfold.

The price of wireworm silk will continue to rise at least until a new alternative to fishing line is found.

This is also the first time that players have discovered that the materials produced after the death of monsters can be developed for other uses besides sacrifice.

This has led many players to think about hoarding materials, as the currently insignificant materials may find new uses one day in the future, causing their prices to skyrocket.

In addition to the fishing method, the most discussed content in the post is that a large number of people are curious about the taste of fish. Many players posted high prices to buy fish, wanting to taste it themselves.

This also allowed many brick-moving party players to see the opportunity to make money.

Just as Wu Quan expected, his strategy post successfully opened up a brand new gameplay genre for the game.

Although this genre is still in its early stages and no player can provide professional advice, it is foreseeable that in the future, with the collective wisdom of the majority of fishing players, fishing gameplay will usher in round after round of gameplay upgrades, especially in the upgrade of fishing equipment.

The popularity continued to rise, and a large number of players flocked to Wu Quan's live broadcast room. The number of viewers in the room, which originally had 0, soared.

During this period, Wu Quan caught a water creature with a hunting level of 3.

It looks like a combination of a fish and a turtle, with a shell on its back.

The analysis information shows:

[Turtle Ray (Monster)]

Hunting Level: 3
Monster introduction: A relatively common low-level aquatic creature in the Pale Continent-Imperial Tomb Mountains. It is an omnivorous animal with a wide range of food sources. It searches for aquatic prey with a keen sense of smell, but usually feeds on aquatic plants and algae. It likes to live in the depths of lakes and prefers dark and quiet waters. During the day, turtle rays often hide in underwater caves or rock crevices, using their own camouflage abilities to blend in with the surrounding environment to avoid being preyed upon by natural enemies, and often go out to find food at night.

……

Although the turtle ray had a strange shape, Wu Quan still chose to cut it into meat after killing it. He skewered the meat strips on a wooden stick and grilled them on a torch in front of the onlookers in the live broadcast room.

After the fish is grilled, the skin is an attractive golden color.

Although the onlookers couldn't smell the aroma from a distance, the sizzling and oily fish still whetted their appetite.

On the spot, some players sent comments asking to buy a piece of fish to taste it.

Wu Quan ignored this.

Under the gaze of the onlookers in the live broadcast room, Wu Quan ate with big mouthfuls and commented on the taste of the fish.

During this period, Wu Quan was once again conquered by the taste of fish meat with spiritual particles attached to it.

Although the method of preparing fish is simple, it is just roasting it over the fire, and there is no complicated production process.

But the inside of the fish retains its original tenderness and juiciness, and all the deliciousness and flavor are locked in by the perfect cooking time. With every bite, you can first feel the crispness and slight burnt aroma of the fish skin, followed by the delicateness and sweetness of the fish meat. The deliciousness that cannot be described in words jumps on the tip of the tongue, bringing endless satisfaction and pleasure to the taste buds.

After finishing the grilled fish in a few bites, Wu Quan gave a thumbs up to the live camera (instructing his clone):
"It's so delicious. It's definitely a treat you can't experience in real life. You must try it."

……

The original altar.

Qi Sheng naturally saw the strategy post published by Wu Quan.

And this is exactly the result he wanted to see.

Just like hunting monsters, the player can extract 30% of the profits from the aquatic creatures he obtains through fishing, whether he decomposes them into food or kills them to gain evolution points and sacrifice power feedback. In essence, fishing is a form of hunting in a different mode.

There is no loss in his earnings.

What’s more important is that the birth of the fishing school has opened up a new field for containing primordial monsters.

Emperor Zhao Zijie created a huge number of original monsters. In addition to those that walk on the ground and fly in the sky, there are also a large number of original monsters hidden in the major waters and even the oceans of the monster world.

Compared with the original monsters on land, the search for underwater original monsters is more difficult, and at this stage there are no original monster souls that can provide underwater combat power.

The emergence of fishing party players has undoubtedly filled the gap in accommodating underwater original monsters and brought about the expansion of new areas.

This will only bring benefits to the development of the player army.

The development and use of fish meat will also involve a sub-career mode that he is considering launching in the future, which involves making spiritual food to obtain growth attributes.

In addition to having strong combat capabilities, the player army envisioned by Qi Sheng also needs a large number of functional auxiliary players who specialize in innovation and development in other fields to provide indirect growth assistance to the player army.
